Betty J. Potenza Law Office

Practice Areas

DIVORCE AND FAMILY LAW

A divorce affects families both emotionally and financially. The more contentious the divorce or litigation, the higher the emotional and financial toll will be. Children in particular can be negatively affected by disputes between their parents. I will work hard to preserve your relationships with your children and move toward an amicable divorce and resolution that is truly in your best interests and in the best interests of your children.

I can also help you resolve issues that arise after separation, such as relocation of a custodial parent, child custody modifications, modification of child support and spousal support, as well as enforcement of existing visitation and support orders.

UNCONTESTED DIVORCE

For a flat fee, I will review the uncontested divorce forms you have prepared, or will prepare the documents required to submit papers necessary to achieve a divorce.

ATTORNEY FOR THE CHILD

As a member of the Attorney for the Child Panel in the Ulster County Family Court, I am assigned to represent the interests of children and youth in Family Court, and to protect their rights and interests.

RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE

Buying and selling a home can be stressful. I am committed to helping eliminate the anxiety associated with buying and selling a home, and can walk you through the process.

NY TRAFFIC TICKETS

I will assist you in resolving Traffic Tickets in local courts in Ulster County, including the Towns of Lloyd, Plattekill, Marlborough, New Paltz, Ulster and other surrounding towns.

I will appear on your behalf and eliminate the need for you to appear before the court in person.

In the local courts, plea bargaining (reduction of a serious violation to a less serious violation) is an available option. While I can never guarantee a client of a particular outcome, in many of the cases I handle, I have been able to help my clients achieve their goals, including keeping a clean record and/or minimizing points on their driving record.
